Answer:

Subscapularis and teres major

Step-by-step explanation:

The subscapularis, along with the teres major, another intrinsic muscle that is not part of the rotator cuff, and extrinsic muscles like the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, is responsible for medial, or internal, rotation of the arm.
